The Child Health Research Institute, a partnership between UNMC and Children’s Nebraska, seeks abstract submissions for the 2025 CHRI Pediatric Research Forum.
The annual research forum is an opportunity for researchers to showcase their current projects to the Child Health Research Institute community. The forum accepts all types of research with pediatric applications. Case reports/case studies and quality improvement projects will not be considered for an award but still may be featured in the forum.
See the guidelines below for eligibility for the research forum awards.
